The Greatest Miyazaki Movie?  

Spirited Away sounds like a great one. I don't know very much about Miyazaki movies. But it sounds like I would like Spirited Away.

I really wish I could answer this but unfortunately I have never seen any Miyazaki movies. If you have any sites where I can find them, feel free to PM them to me!

The first movie I watched was Princess Mononoke and found it fascinating the imagery and story were amazing I have watched it several times since and still enjoy it. I found that Howl's moving Castle follows the same line, the retro futuristic background the complex battle between good and bad and the tortured warrior hero. Spirited away is a totally different style of movie, it is exceptionally well done, so much so that it broke records in Japan and around the world, it is such a powerful movie that it was able to win the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, the Golden Berlin Bear among tons of other awards. I must admit that I found the dubbed version more childlike, the subbed version, maybe due to the difference in the tempo of the Japanese language and the fact that buy reading the subs it is my voice I hear in my head it gave it a more dramatic yet melancholical feel, it is amazing but I find it hard to decide between it and Princess Mononoke as my favourite.

It's one of my favorite movies by Miyazaki, the first I saw was Kiki's Delivery Service, then I saw Princess Mononoke because my sister bought it, my other favorite is Howl's Moving Castle, and I've only seen a little bit of Totoro... But Spirited Away is one of the better ones.

Spirited Away is one of the most perfect movies I have ever seen. The least I can say about it is that there was not a single moment during it that my attention wasn't completely focused. The plot was fantastic and full-bodied. Each character was given so much personality, even the little soot spiders weren't treated as two-dimensional.

In a way the whole film felt like a dream, in that it is seamless. It flows, effortlessly, from scene to scene, from emotion to emotion - straight from terror and tragedy to comedy - without the subtle bump that wakes you up, that lets you know that the makers of the movie and the creator of the script had wanted you to be crying but now you really should be laughing. It was so LIFELIKE. Sometimes in real life the most grim moments contain honest elements of comedy that do not seem out-of-place. But trying to put that sort of convoluted emotion into a film creates a very thin line that too many have fallen off of.

There was no part of the film that felt fake, or rushed, or shaky; the intensity of the story line and the determination of the lead character was obvious throughout. More than causing interest, this movie made me FEEL. I was sucked into the drama. I can rarely say that a movie made me laugh and cry without feeling like an idiot, but the caliber of this picture is so high that I don't even feel embarrassed. I laughed. I cried. And you will too.

My favorite movie of all time. I rented it and fell in love with it. So I went and bought the DVD and have watched it many times. I never get tired of watching it. To me that is the true test of a great movie.

kikis deliverly service was awsome! but spirited away is truely amazing.The story is perfect and draws you in, it is my favorite movie of all time. :) I can watch it over and over again. mmmmmmmmmm :)

I like Castle in the Sky the most because the two main characters got together at the end unlike Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away. The other two didn't have sad endings but I like it better when the main characters (who like each other) end up together. Also Castle in the Sky created a entire fantasy world for me. Imagine their actually being a castle floating in the sky. The music was also awesome.

Omg... I LOVED that movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cried when she recognized the dragon! cou ah cou!! omg... so beautiful, so touching!!!
